Chapter 400 The decisive battle begins
After a day of rapid march, after passing several newly built camps, Chen Jing and his group of thousands finally arrived at their destination.
On the desolate plain ahead, they saw a particularly spectacular military camp stretching for dozens of miles appearing in front of everyone.
Among them, Chen Jing saw for the first time a densely packed and countless number of soldiers and warriors flowing among them.
Even if he didn't express it deliberately, the energy and blood gathered by hundreds of thousands of warriors was as majestic as a dragon, soaring straight into the sky, stirring up not a single cloud within a hundred miles, and the clear sky was clearly visible.
The solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated every corner like a real thing, and all nearby savage beasts, regardless of strength, fled early in fear.
Even if Chen Jing and others came here at this time, their hearts could not help but sink for a moment, as if the cells in their bodies had been awakened by stimulation, and they quickly entered a state of war.
Just when everyone was informed of the specific station location and the distribution of their troops by the person who came to meet them in front of the army camp, suddenly!
Chen Jing, who was the strongest among the people, suddenly looked sideways at the originally deserted skyline in the distance.
Then came Jing Hongguang and the other sixth-level warriors in the team.
Then there are middle-level warriors like Shang Qingmei.
Finally, there are the low-level warriors.
At this time, a black dot like sesame seeds appeared in front of everyone at the far end of the horizon.
Then came the second and third.
In just a few seconds, the black spots occupied all corners of the skyline, and like a roaring sky, they spread rapidly forward amidst earth-shattering roars.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The familiar sound of war drums, accompanied by the war cries of hundreds of thousands of people, turned into terrifying sound waves and swept toward Chen Jing.
No need for others to explain.
Chen Jing, whose murderous intention was dozens of times stronger than before, knew very well that the other protagonist of this battle had finally arrived.
An unprecedented war is about to break out!
Woo!
The loud sound of horns echoed through the sky.
Within the military camp that stretched for dozens of miles, soldiers and warriors who were as densely packed as ants quickly came out of the camp tents and quickly assembled with great training.
The power of an individual is as insignificant as a bunch in the ocean in front of such an army of hundreds of thousands.
What Chen Jing wants to play at this time is one of these roles.
Chen Jing, who walked out of the military green camp tent and was in the best condition after a night's rest, was wearing a brand-new hunting uniform with black bottom and red edges. Together with Wei Zhuohua, Zhang Ye and Guan Feng who came together, they walked towards a small group in front of them.
Gather in the playground.
There, more than a hundred members of the hunting army wearing the same military uniforms have gathered.
Although the barbarian army had arrived yesterday, during the rapid march, its commander did not foolishly rush into the already prepared camp like this. Instead, just like the Xia Kingdom, they also built a camp for rest.
The interweaving of the two worlds, whether active or passive, has more or less absorbed the characteristics of the other's civilization.
Although the barbarians were far slower than the Xia Kingdom in this aspect, and even their inherent traditional thinking made them resist erosion from more powerful civilizations, at least in the military aspect, the barbarians, who had always pursued the strong, were still very willing to learn.
Just like the camps built by the barbarians, although they are a bit different, the style and layout are definitely similar to those of the Xia Kingdom.
This is also true of their military.
It was different from when the two worlds first met, when the barbarian side was scattered and fighting aimlessly from one end to the other. Although the Xia State side, which was caught off guard by its bravery at the beginning, was defeated continuously.
But after the latter reacted, the barbarian invaders were completely scattered to pieces under the collective attack and all-round attacks by sea, land and air. They were wiped out one by one with precise scalpel cuts, leaving only a handful of remnants in the end. He fled back in embarrassment.
After more than ten years of fighting, the barbarian side also developed from the most primitive armed force with no structure to a feudal-style army.
Otherwise, with a barbarian army marching in the hundreds of thousands, the entire team would have been dispersed before they even completed a mile.
Unlike now, the barbarian officers even have the ability to bring hundreds of thousands of troops over completely.
This is no simple matter.
Even those keyboard warriors who know astronomy and geography well, even if you give them an army of not ten thousand but just a thousand, they will probably be confused when it comes to commanding them. There are all kinds of military terminology, flags, and array command. Waiting is enough to give them a headache.
Therefore, even if Chen Jing is now up to standard in terms of strength and military rank, he will not volunteer to lead a large army.
He specializes in martial arts, and with his current military literacy, he can only command an elite sharp knife squadron of hundreds of people.
Just like now, he was assigned by his superiors as the commander of the hundred-man colonial hunting army squadron in front of him to cooperate with the battle between the army of a town led by Jing Hongguang, who had been promoted for meritorious service, and the barbarians.
Affected by the influence of the other world, modern industrial weapons such as firearms cannot be used. Therefore, in the establishment of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the main light infantry skirmishing combat method that used remote weapons as a means of combat was cancelled, and was paired with company squads. Overly detailed compilation of classes has also been eliminated.
It was replaced by an organization that was more in line with the intensification of ancient warfare.
Ten people make up a team, hundreds make up a company, thousands people make up a battalion, five battalions make up a town, and three towns make up an army. As for the highest one, it is the name of a legion like the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Of course, special elite formations such as the hunting army and the special reconnaissance army are not the same as above. They are mainly planned in flexible forms such as squads, squadrons, brigades, etc.
Therefore, Chen Jing, who was promoted to the position of captain of the colonial hunting army, was ordered by his superiors to act together with Jing Hongguang, who led five thousand people.
A cold weapon war, especially a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, is by no means like in the movies, finding a place and all swarming together to fight.
The scale of the entire battlefield stretches for at least dozens of miles. In a world without instant communication, it is absolutely impossible for a commander to coordinate the overall situation immediately.
Therefore, commanders at all levels need to cooperate with their own military capabilities.
Jing Hongguang is naturally an acquaintance to Chen Jing, and he also agrees with the opponent's military qualities. He feels more assured that they can join forces in today's decisive battle, at least they will never be led into a ditch.
Neither the Barbarians nor the Xia Kingdom could withstand the logistical consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops for a long period of time.
Therefore, the two sides had a tacit understanding to have a decisive battle the next day.
Also today.
Time is running out.
This was the first time that Chen Jing saw one hundred of his subordinates.
Of course, this was the first time for these hundreds of people to see their superior being so young.
Maybe some people recognized Chen Jing's identity, but of course there were many who didn't.
But no matter what, no one would be stupid enough to question the commander at this time.
Military orders are like a mountain. If someone really dares to show up, Chen Jing will really dare to kill him with a knife at this time to set an example.
Without much greeting, Chen Jing, who believed in the military qualities of these people, directly ordered coldly:
"Set off!"
In an instant, about a hundred mid-level warriors set off in unison.
Such actions can be found everywhere in the military camp.
The passionate sound of war drums continued.
Chapter completed!
